4/17 Cubs (Maddux) @ Dodgers (Tomko) 9 pm CSN

[Mizzou]

This is so vintage Maddux. If he goes all 9, I am digging up an old "Countdown til Maddux Option Vests" thread.

 

because maddux never made three consecutive good starts last year

Not this good.

 

Did he?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Bottom 8th

 

Bill Mueller grounds out to 2nd, 4-3

Oscar Robles grounds out to 2nd, 4-3

Dioner Navarro called out on strikes

 

0 runs, 0 hits, 0 errors, 0 LOB

 

Cubs 4, Dodgers 1

 

Maddux: 87 pitches

I'm assuming he is done for the night...

 

Kind of wished he'd go 9.

[Blueheart05]

Vin Scully is awesome...just said Maddux is taking the Dodgers to school

 

"give 'em all a diploma."

Or started well.

[KatJ]

how can greg pitch like this with dummy barrett catching

 

It helps when not many of them get on base to begin with.

[Buford T Justice]

85 pitches through 8

[soccer10k]

Maddux is flat out dealing right now. I'm loving it.

[Flames24Rulz]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

He did have back to back complete games, then wasn't worth a crap for 4 starts though.

[Brian]

Let Maddux go complete! Pinch hitter, Furcalcoholic, and Lofton are all due up in the 9th.

 

Furcoholic?

 

Him and Ponson are the league leaders in DUI

[Banedon]

Bruce Miles sighting! :D

 

Happy B-day Bruce!

[Omar]

Someone needs to make Maddux's vintage starts at 40 relate to the movie "40 Year-Old Virgin"

 

Hm... "40 Year-Old ________"

[Pistolcub42]

Bruce! Happy Birthday, buddy!!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Who was that one pitcher that got popped in the head by a screaming liner, that caused him to be bloodied up on his head?

 

Was that Steve Cartlon?

 

Nolan Ryan

 

No, that was Robin Ventura stupidly chraging the mound and getting sufficiently pummelled by Nolan.

 

Nolan Ryan took a Bo Jackson line drive to the face and continued to pitch. I'll find a picture of it.

but barrett's game calling is so atrocious

[Yeti]

Great line by Scully...

 

"He might as well bring chalk and a chalkboard out there with the way he's pitching."

 

Maddux is taking them to school.

 

Except for "Tad" and "Jack", I've really enjoyed listening to him. I don't know that I've ever heard him before.

what are you new?

Clement

 

I dont think Clement was bleeding.

 

I thought I remembered lots of blood. Maybe not.

[KatJ]

Let Maddux go complete! Pinch hitter, Furcalcoholic, and Lofton are all due up in the 9th.

 

Furcoholic?

 

A few DUI convictions (not sure if he's been convicted, but he's no stranger to DUI arrests) for Fookie.

[killthegoat06]

Happy b-day bruce.

[Omar]

Is Bruce browsing here? Did Len mention it?

[Brian]

Sounds like Demp is for sure coming in.

If you think Barrett is calling the pitches with Maddux on the mound you haven't been following baseball very closely.

[killthegoat06]

Ramirez flied out to left.

[Coach C]

Happy B-Day Bruce!

[Banedon]

Just showed Bruce on his laptop, and he is listed as viewing the site on the main page... :)
